Syndication
I removed the reference to the show's syndication profits from this sentence: "The series was immensely popular, earning NBC more than $2 billion during its nine seasons, with an additional $3 billion in syndication deals," because none of its $3 billion in syndication earnings went to NBC. I wanted to explain why that's the case I can see why someone may think otherwise based on the current citation alone. "Seinfeld" is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery subsidiary Castle Rock Entertainment and its creators. NBC licensed the show from them and therefore is not entitled to a share of the show's syndication earnings. The CNBC citation does not claim otherwise, but it does not clarifying where exactly the show's post-broadcast syndicated profits go. Instead it links readers to a Financial Times article that does explain who owns the show and where the profits go (http://web.archive.org/web/20130507043937/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/262f5bf8-9bae-11e2-8485-00144feabdc0.html). That has been confirmed by countless other reliable sources (e.g. https://www.thewrap.com/why-you-cant-watch-classic-nbc-sitcoms-friends-and-seinfeld-on-nbcus-peacock/) and "Seinfeld" premiered before a 1993 court case ruled that networks can own the shows they broadcast (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-11-14-mn-56931-story.html) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponkapoag (talk • contribs) 09:05, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
